Music that Matters

From foot-stomping rock and blues to laid-back folk and funk, Caltowie COFU brings people together for one massive day of good vibes and even better company. But behind the amps and the laughter is a deeper purpose: supporting mental health across regional SA.

In 2025, thanks to everyone who bought a ticket, danced in the paddock, or shared the love, we raised an incredible $2,901 from festival proceeds — plus a generous $500 contribution from Ben Murray Wines. 🍷

That’s $3,401 going directly to Lifeline Regional SA & Far West NSW, helping fund counselling and crisis support through Lifeline Connect Centres in Clare and Port Pirie.

These centres are a safe place to go when things get too much — offering free, face-to-face, video, and phone counselling with no referral or mental health diagnosis needed.

📍 Lifeline Connect Clare – 1 Blanche St, Clare SA (open 9:00am–5:00pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays)
📍 Lifeline Connect Port Pirie – 79 Esmond Rd, Port Pirie South SA (open 9:00am–4:00pm, Monday to Thursday, excluding public holidays)

And remember, if you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about ending their life, Lifeline is available 24/7.
📞 Call 13 11 14 or 💬 chat online at lifeline.org.au.

Every dollar raised helps make sure that when someone in our region needs a hand, there’s someone there to answer.
